how do you identify a transparent project team?

[craZyLovE0916]

you can detect when a team is transparent because their real faces are displayed on their website and also their names. You may even be able to find their Facebook profiles or their Twitter profile.

ICO ratings suck,they will give high rating if they pay them high amount so this is just investing small to make more,You have to DYOR in crypto investments.

The world of cryptoqurrency is very anonymous and this anonymity is not only in forums, communities, transactions, projects, and even the faces of developers & teams. so, there is no really appropriate way to identify them, including identifying through video calls. it is not entirely a guarantee if they are valid. so follow your heart & it's important you make sure that they are the team responsible for some of their previous experiences.

The anonymity does not go for ICOs, every investor has the right to know the team behind the project and If they are not willing to provide information about themselves then they are not fit to be funded. Its disheartening that those with known identity still scam let alone those not opening up. Some top members of this forum are known so this community is not actually anonymous.

Indeed. It is their duty and responsibility to be trusted by people who are interested to invest their project. They need to build trust and transparency so we should know them well not only on their linkedIn but also they need to have AMA, or any live session regarding what they are doing and vision about the project and as much as possible they should attend blockchain events too.

Identifying the real identity of the team project is the first step to gain the trust of their investors. Without giving any information they just make it clear that they are not sincere in developing the project and they will only show the community that they cant be trusted.
A transparent project gives any legal information and updates regarding the whole project to its community, its their responsibility and priority.

If the project is a scam, it would be really silly of its team to show their true identities. In most cases, they just find some pics online and use them as the images of their “Chief Financial Officers” or “advisors,” as was seen  in Empire Card who used a picture of French actress Sabine de Poncins, little known outside of France, as the portrait of their proud imaginary CEO Patricia Harrison. There have even been reports of Ryan Gosling “working” for a project as a designer under a completely different name.  
Some scammers are, however, way more intricate. They know it’s quite easy to reveal a fake pic so they just hire people to pose as their CEOs, CFOs, and so forth. Rumor has it that certain scammers even pay homeless people to pretend they’re leading a disruptive startup to a bright and radiant future. This fraud is much harder to call out, but at least those guys help homeless people in some way, so here’s your silver lining.

There is no way to know if a project is a scam or not. No scam project will even notify you anywhere in their spread sheet or white paper that they are not legit. The best thing is to read well about the project and if they are convincing enough, you can join. If not, you need to trust tour gut and take any decision you consider needful

This is my own definition of transparent project team
1. They always put investors first
2. They always listen to investors opinions
3. They aren't shady, even if there is fund issue
4. Head office address are legit and they allow visitors, just to show they are real
5. No fake advisors or fake pictures or stolen IDs

[Leema]

Firstly, no transparent project will start with a landing website with non professional ui design. Secondly,  you check the team profiles on LinkedIn if it's corresponding with what is writing on their website. Thirdly,  the social media handles when it's opening or newly openly. The whitepaper is very important and the Roadmap how it's structured. A transperate project should have these vital features and more importantly, the advisors you need to check the handles of their social media.

[congakia113]

I think a transparent project comes from the transparent team! There are partners and support from transparent, headquartered and verified organizations! In addition, live Q&A events should be created during project development.

I suggest doing sharp research on the project that you will invest in.
Scammers will always have a way to commit fraud. The important thing is, we must always be careful before investing in new projects.

good points to apply in analyzing the project, I agree to the project team that listens to complaints from investors, because basically the investor and the project team are a collaboration for the progress of a project, then discussion to solve problems together is highly recommended.

Before we discuss how to intensify that a project or scam there are things to remember, that these scammers are people who have long been in the crypto world and there are also scammers who are part of the team of a project that has succeeded, meaning the scammers These are the average people who already know the ins and outs of how to organize ICO, IEO and the like. To find out how a project is a scam or not, in my opinion we first look at the website and their activeness on social media such as Twitter, Linkedin, if the project is indeed real they usually always update about the event or activity of their project.
Do not be easily fooled from photos, this is indeed very often the case where a photo roap is affixed pasted into their whitepaper and entered in the ranks of the team, the original phot and patch for today is very easy to see.
it might at least help to identify whether a project is a scam or not.

Last three points are the actual play mark. There should not be anything shady or fishy about the project if it is real.  All the addresses and contacts must be valid ones. Though faking oneself is no more a hard task, still the project should be clean from such doubts. Faking IDs etc is easy for social engineers. Every project shows as if the investor holds importance equal to god. Obviously, customers are the key to success.

[fuer44]

this is indeed bad, but this is the online world and online businesses that do not provide the opportunity to meet or even do socialization for just one time. we also have the opportunity to cheat with fake photos and I don't think they have a problem with it. it's just that KYC can't fool them, but is it fair if we do KYC but the team doesn't? I think the team is also obliged to do it to find out the real identity of the team members who run the project so that everything becomes more transparent, and we know who the project developer really is and what their background is.

if everything is already running and we get scam, we also can not sue anyone. from the start, it was also difficult for us to say whether this team was really serious in developing the project or just a scam. therefore I strongly agree if the development team also does kyc and is shown to investors and bounty hunters.

the work gives with release of update as uses with decision on developer work on customs with the administrative system as expecting with least on waste as requesting on exchange to collects with spares of funds on collection as extending terms of entrance to work on customs as the repetitiveness of casuals with the daily entry into field of business.

For me personally it might be difficult to identify a team project that is transparent and even impossible. Especially when scammers use photos of other people or photos of people who do not have a place to live, a homeless man who is paid to be photographed and used for things that are not good, although it can help a homeless person, but this method is not the right way and can hurt many people, both those who participated in the project and also the people who were photographed.

The legit project should care about the development of the project first, everything else comes later. The opinion of the crypto community can affect badly to the decision of the team and the contradictions will happen often. The real people behind the project always organizes meetups, conferences but only fake team avoids if there is a need to do such a thing.

Yes, as there are some core team who would like to be anonymous too, but for as long as I can see that there is really an existing project that there is development ongoing, and I can see it not just screenshot then I will still the project. But, of course seeing the identity of the core team is a plus, as you might have the chance to know them well and to do research about them about their credibility and expertise.

New projects always make offers that are very tempting and sometimes even make no sense, but I agree with you before investing in new projects to conduct good research and analysis. even though we have reviewed it sometimes we are still deceived by lies projects. especially not with study and caution.
